Lovie wasn't a bad coach. Just bad personnel decisions (more on the GM and I'm not sure how much say Love had over personnel). Just take a look at the Bears drafting and free agent pick ups in the last 10 years. Jay Cutler and Brandon Marshall cover up what has usually been poor drafting, mainly on offense. Lovie Smith does need a guy to run the offense however. Pair Lovie Smith with a Pat Shurmer, Norv Turner (I'd trade for Alex Smith under that scenario), or another good OC and you'd have a consistent playoff team.
